Symptoms of filamentary keratitis primarily include photophobia, excessive tearing, dryness, pain, redness, and discomfort. Surgical intervention is considered the optimal treatment for this condition; the procedure is performed under anesthesia and is generally not associated with significant sensation. Postoperatively, topical antibiotic ointments may be applied to alleviate symptoms, and oral vitamin supplements may also help relieve these symptoms. During recovery, it is essential to maintain local hygiene and avoid rubbing the eyes frequently to prevent infection or worsening of the condition.
